Workplace safety and security is a growing concern today and every organization has a responsibility to its workers, customers, and visitors to exercise due diligence in evaluating the vulnerability of their facilities to workplace violence. A study conducted by Northwestern National Life Insurance, stated that 2,500 of every 100,000 American workers have been attacked on the job. In addition, an institute study estimated the aggregate cost of workplace violence to U.S. employers to be more than $36 billion as a result of expenses associated with lost business and productivity, litigation, medical care, psychiatric care, higher insurance rates, increased security measures, negative publicity, and loss of employees.

As part of its core mission to empower organizations to create a safer workplace, Safety Solution Resources has established a new partnership with Sorensen, Wilder & Associates (SWA), a nationally recognized leader in safety and security consultation services for healthcare facilities, schools, churches, and other public buildings. This new relationship allows Safety Solution Resources to offer a full range of workplace security services from some of the top experts in the field.

Security Vulnerability Assessments (SVA’s)

Evaluating Workplace Security Risks

To accomplish the goal of maximizing the safety and security of every employee and visitor at your facility, our partner experts utilize the P2T2® security risk assessment system, developed by leading workplace security specialists. This trademarked SVA process focuses on 4 critical areas in determining the security vulnerability of various high risk working environments.

PEOPLE ● PROGRAMS ● TRAINING ● TECHNOLOGY

Within these core areas, our workplace security consultants conduct a number of specific evaluations designed to identify areas of risk, establish a proactive plan of action, and facilitate the development of a safer working environment within your facility. These evaluations include:

• Staff Interviews
• Policy & Procedure Review
• Staffing & Organization
• Incident Response and Follow-Up
• Security Department Evaluation
• Staff Training Programs
• Independent Evaluation of Safety & Security Equipment/Technology
• Independent Evaluation of the Security Management Program

Upon completion of the Security Vulnerability Assessment, your organization will receive documentation of the evaluation process, as well as a list of recommendations for possible modifications to your Security Management Program. This documentation includes:

• Systematically Prioritized List of Security Risks (Risk Level vs. Cost)
• Recommendations for Mitigating Security Risks
• Strategies for Security Management Plan Implementation (Time vs. Cost/Budget)

 

Employee Training & Education Programs

The SVA process often reveals the need for additional employee training & education programs. These programs can provide effective solutions for managing both high-level and low-level security risks. Such training solutions are highly desirable to employers because they can be implemented in a short period of time at a cost that is affordable. We offer a number of training & education courses designed to improve workplace safety & security.
